Madison
Shelby
Nikia
Angela
In order to achieve this, do all four of
them have to be the same distance from
the center of the object? Explain.

Answer 1

depends

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to balance at the same distance from the center, the people opposite each other would have to weigh the same amount,

if they weigh different amounts, then the heavier person would have to be closer to the center in order to balance.
